SEVERAL THOUSAND WOMEN PROTEST IN TOGO'S CAPITAL

SEVERAL THOUSAND WOMEN PROTEST IN TOGO'S CAPITAL. Togolese women dressed in red march in Lome, the capital of Togo, in the latest of a string of protests by a group demanding sweeping political reforms on Sept 20, 2012. The march was organised by the women's wing of Let's Save Togo, an opposition and civil society coalition that has called on President Faure Gnassingbe to resign. Togo's government has banned protests in commercial centres, citing the difficulty in maintaining public order in such areas. Photo courtesy Daniel Hayduk
